Unforgettable private guided tour Pere Lachaise - Tour Guide Michele made the visit to the Pere Lachaise Artists Cemetery very interesting, taking into account the presence of a 14-year-old boy, making it easy to explain the personalities and graves for him too. There was a nice empathy immediately. Very well the timing of stay and the detail of the most significant historical tombs. I thank Michele for his patience in making me biss the grave of Jim Morrison. Really very nice experience!

Getting to know Père Lachaise with Hugo, our awesome host! - Our Père Lachaise tour was facilitated by Hugo who expertly guided us through the huge cemetery. We were booked in for a small group tour but lucked out as it was just the two of us on Hugo's list for the afternoon. We toured gravesites where the mortal remains of notable people now rest, learnt about their remarkable lives and how they dented human history. We also learnt about Père Lachaise's evolution to become the world famous cemetery it now is as well as the memorials located within its walls. In Hugo we had a very friendly, easygoing, knowledgeable guide with a passion for history who was eager to customise the tour just for us. Hugo was able to encourage and engage in discussions and enlighten us about French history as well as the trials, tribulations and successes of French and Parisian society. Plenty of walking done, plots covered (or uncovered as the case may be) and history to unravel. It was never a dull moment and we would absolutely do something like this again.

Highly recommend! - Our guide Mathieu was exceptional. He made us feel welcome right away. Each stop along the tour was well planned and fascinating. I have been the Pere Lachaise twice before taking this tour and wish that I took it earlier. A fantastic way to spend an afternoon and learning about the fascinating history of this beautiful location.

Pere Lachaise Tour - Very interesting tour, essentially private as no one else had signed up. Our guide Hugo was Irish but very knowledgeable about French history and clearly loves the more exotic tombs in the cemetery

Great Tour! Highly recommended! - Francois was great! Great personality and sense of humor. Super informative and filled with tons of fun facts and great historical stories. The cemetery was amazing—so incredibly big and filled with endless graves to see. Francios's tour flew by; I wish it was longer! Me and my wife truly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend this tour and Francois to anyone visiting Paris. Christian M. (USA)
